Transcript

Welcome to bliss breathing five minute meditation.

Find a comfortable place sitting,

Lying down and make sure you're not disturbed for the next five minutes.

While we just concentrate fully on the breath and we start to relax the mind and the body.

As we settle in take a long deep breath in and a long slow deep breath out.

Breathing in long and slowly,

Followed by a slow long deep breath out.

Whatever thoughts we have for the day,

Just leaving them at the door.

We're bringing our full attention and awareness to the breath as we breathe in right from the very beginning.

Following the breath as we breathe all the way in and as we breathe all the way out.

Following the breath as we breathe in and as we breathe out.

Bring your attention to the start of each breath.

Feeling into the sensations of breathing in.

Into the small pause before we exhale.

Following the breath all the way to the very end.

As you breathe in filling the air through the nose,

Through the throat,

Into the lungs and as we breathe out feeling the lungs contract,

The air back through the throat and out through the nose.

Follow your natural rhythm of breathing.

No forcing,

No tension.

Follow the breath.

As you breathe in allow the breath to fill the lungs and as you exhale feel those lungs contract and deepen into further relaxation.

Breathing in and breathing out.

If the mind starts to wander come back to the breath.

Feeling the breath rather than thinking.

Feeling into the chest rising and the chest deepening.

Allow space to be created as you breathe in fully and as you breathe out deeply.

Taking a breath and releasing.

And as you come back into the room start to wriggle your fingers and your toes.

You've completed five minute breathing meditation.

Altough short this was so very effective, in fact that length of time was one of its strengths as it can be fitted in any time of the day when needed Also thank you for clearing up something for me, I was always taught in Yoga (close on to 30 years) to always breathe in and out of the nose which I do but some teachers say in through the nose & out of the mouth which I don't like
